I might feel better about the whole thing if the coin was already damaged/severely worn beforehand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do carry a military challenge coin from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba on occasion. I&#039;ll see about taking a picture of it tonight and posting it. I got it back in 1995 in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. I was a refugee there for 9 months. The coin was given to me by a U.S. Army Captain (pictured below next to me) who made me promise before giving me the coin that I would always be kind to others no matter what.</p><p><br /></p><p>I carry that challenge coin when I&#039;m stressed and in a bad mood, as a reminder of my promise to always be kind to others.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime, until I&#039;m able to post the picture of the coin tonight, here is a picture of me in Guantanamo next to then Captain Menegon, now a retired U.S. Army colonel. A very good man who made our lives a lot easier in the middle of all that mess that was Guantanamo at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]622026[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
